| What we do | According to The World Health Organization [WHO], Sickle-cell anemia is particularly common among people whose ancestors come from sub-Saharan Africa, India, Saudi Arabia and Mediterranean countries. Migration raised the frequency of the gene in the American continent. In some areas of sub-Saharan Africa, up to 2% of all children are born with the condition. We plan to reach out to every West African child and adult diagnosed with a trait or is suffering from the sickle cell disease, and offer some help at no cost to them. Our objective is to complete our clinic building projects across West Africa by 2030. We are estimating that about 2 million patients will be seen at these clinics per year between 2025 and 2030, and are making adequate preparations to meet these needs. |
| What we accept |
Some of our patients, especially the children we care for, come to our clinics with virtually nothing on their backs, and their parents or guardians are in no condition to do anything. Apart from the needs listed above, we also request clothing donations of all types, shapes and styles. Our greatest areas of need are for children between the ages of 1-7 years, males and females, and because most of these children will wear these clothes for a very long time, we would prefer that any used clothes donated be less than 6 months old.
